in the black colonials
against the Prussian Guards
who are holding the place.
I feel sorry for the Germans
as the niggers take no
prisoners. -- The guns
have been pounding

wrings from the noise.
This offensive is a great
experience. It has been
wonderful to follow the
preperations and then see
the actual bombardment
take place. I only hope
that the French can take
Leon. I doubt it though as
the Huns are too foxy.
Already they have the French
artilery guessing as they
have changed the position
